Premiere: Bear Mountain – Hopeful (Moon Bounce Remix)

Vancouver band Bear Mountain are on a mission to find the medium between technology and the natural world. It can be heard in their music from original to remix and DJ set in-between. It’s this mission which is successful in making the band stand out, at least in this two thumb haver’s mind. ‘Hopeful’ itself was made with the future in mind. And during times like these motivation points here and there are what is needed to keep ourselves from burying our heads in the sand. Especially on the subject of technology versus nature. This is where Philly based Moon Bounce comes in.  Locking ‘Hopeful’ firmly into technology, groovily I might add, with a lush blend of Tropical/New Disco and plenty of Future. Listen to the original below to compare and expand ;)

“We made it thinking about the future, and being hopeful for what’s to come despite the past.” – Bear Mountain

Premiere: RVLVR – Shadows (Dev79 Remix)

Philly has been translating Grime into North American listening for years now. Better know as Street Bass there should be no quarrel in the city’s occupying Bass Muisc’s forefront as we know it to this day. Bass Music alongside pure underground of the coast and continent is affirmed more now by online copywrite laws being enforced to the degree in which it is today. Labels like these and their counterparts who’ve survived to this day, bringing original production and true genre creation are once again to be the curators of future music. Bass or otherwise.

Out today on such a label, on New Low‘s catalog is Philly based RVLVR’s ‘Shadow’s’ EP. Featuring two new originals and remixes from Dev79 (Seclusiasis) and Bombé (New Low). In the spirit of education, musics longevity outside of Doritos and promotion we are proud to premiere of quarter of the release. An original twist from Dev79 on RVLVR’s title track turned half a beat more Grime/Philly from the originals climatic space battle ambiance. Listen to the whole EP on Bandcamp and do the follow thing for both these artists.

Premiere: Prinze George – Upswing (Dinesh & LioBeats Remix)


For all the reasons we fell in love with an early Flume, is why we fell in love with NYC’s Prinze George’s latest remix received. Punching through and between the originals vocals with huge bursts of triumph Dinesh & LioBeats keep the listener rocking with the Future sounds of our time. Daft Punk’s ‘Robot Rock’ lingers in the back of one’s mind while listening, to a degree. Light drum builds into just as hard glitching hits as the track progresses are a stairway into an affirmation of believing the future is now, and while life isn’t always fair, anything is possible. The track is available for free download for a time. You can listen and compare the original and check the rest of Prinze George’s self titled EP HERE.

Premiere: Volknor – Eternal Snow


Our last encounter with Detroits Ethan Garcia sounded like this, an impertive remix needed for Ye’s, super personal ‘Only One’ featuring the last bobble head worthy greats of music, and Ri Ri. Two months, and what feels like an entire winter later Volknor has re-appeared. Bearing a five track EP, a child of love. His taking to reclusion has payed off in a way that just plain bursts out into the world again. ‘Eternal Snow’ is the second track off the self release entitled ‘The Blue Spirit’ . File under Future.

Premiere: Baauer – Promises feat. Fetty Wap & Double Dutch (So Durand & Foster Edit)


All us white folk are in deep with rap’s latest grimy sensation, Fetty Wap. ‘Trap Queen‘ is still so damn large that most people will turn a blind eye to his performance with.. Fall Out Boy. In music hungry, non mainstream circles his feature on Baauers #songsfromscratch with either cancel that Pop blasphemy out, or just plain overshadow. Thankfully.

Subject change back to Fetty’s love-ability it’s high time he enter’s dance music. Baauer opened that door wide open so we can start getting some much needed remixes with Fetty’s many many quotable quotes. Two Canadian Ontario boys who have been know to collab went in and took ‘Promises’ to the club with a taste of Jersey. FC is super proud to be involved with this one, the track holds it’s own and is available for a follow to each of the fine gents who put it together.

Exclusive: Futurecop! – Lost Love feat. DWNTWN (New Shack Remix)


Turn the volume up in your time machine and get ready to hit 88…. 1988. Make sure to buckle up cause this whole album takes you on a nostalgic and magical ride to the 80s and back….. back to the Futurecop!

We’re very excited to premiere a dreamy remix off the new “Fairy Tales: Remixed” album by Futurecop! that is being released on April 17th on Kietz Beats with proceeds going to the “War Child” charity. The remix comes from a relatively new synth pop duo to hit the “80’s influenced” scene who go by the name ‘New Shack’, with so many good remixes on the album it’’s hard to pick a favorite, but Futurecop! feat. DWNTWN – Lost Love (New Shack Remix) resonates with retro synth excellence. It’s the ultimate theme music for wherever your daydream takes you.
The album also has remixes by Dream Fiend & Sunglasses Kid so make sure to grab “Fairy Takes: Remixed” and support a good cause in the process. The war child charity helps those in conflicted affected countries by providing them life changing support to the most vulnerable children whose families, communities and schools have been torn apart by war. That’s a great cause we should all get behind. Futurecop! had this to say about what war child means to them…

“Futurecop! music has always been about nostalgia, fantasy and dreams. Over the years it has slowly become more deeper, with principles such as innocence, courage, love and equality as something that Futurecop! is now closely connected to. Futurecop! strongly believes in these principles and it is the reason why a charity like War Child is so important. War Child is a great charity because it allows for this channel to me made, between us and those less fortunate. So please help us and even if you do not like our music visit their website, learn more and give your support. We are only in this world once, let’s make it a better place to stay and do something that touches our hearts and connects us all”
